Fallout 3 Hints
Tepid Sewer
1 of 11: This metro/sewer area has an exterior entrance at Tepid Sewers (location 37 on the Zone 9 Map), plus an exit to Georgetown West (Georgetown region). This guided tour assumes you're entering from the exterior area.
2 of 11: Go down the stairs and turn right to find a room with some lockers and metal boxes on shelves to search. After that, go to the other end of the hall and open the door to find a small room with some metal boxes and a first aid box on shelves.
3 of 11: Near that door are two sets of stairs you can go down to reach a terminal near the start of a long corridor. If you can hack the terminal, you'll be able to shut off the ceiling turret near the other end of the corridor. Otherwise, you'll have to shoot it.
4 of 11: At the first corridor intersection, look to the left to find a metal box, a toolbox, and a first aid box on some shelves. A bit farther down, look for a raider as well as mole rats past some stairs on the right.
5 of 11: There are two sets of stairs leading up to a big room, but only go there if you want to kill more mole rats. The way to continue is to find the door on the lower floor at the north end of the central corridor and go through it to a room with dead mole rats in it.
6 of 11: Go through the door on the other side of the room to enter a track tunnel, then immediately go into Sneak mode. There are eight frag mines set in the tunnel, starting with one on a nearby board. Disable and grab each frag mine by sneaking up to where you can use the Activate key on it twice.
7 of 11: Note that you may need to hang back near the doorway and shoot the raider named Rocksalt near the sandbag wall ahead before disarming the mines. Once you reach the sandbag wall, look behind it for four unset frag mines and an ammo box. Next to the second sandbag wall are a lunchbox, a first aid box, three frag grenades, and two more ammo boxes.
8 of 11: Go on past the second sandbag wall and disarm the five frag mines you find down there, then go back to the sandbag walls and down the passage in the west wall between them for some optional supplies and raider combat.
9 of 11: Go back up the tunnel and through the door on the right, then go through rooms and hallways until you reach a room full of pipes in which raiders are fighting mole rats.
10 of 11: Go out the room's other door and on to a much larger room with fenced-in machinery in its center. Look for a sensor module on top of a machine along the west wall, then go out the room's other door and down some stairs to reach a large room with two side rooms.
